New National Geographic in the bathroom,

Thanks Dad

And M.L. came down from
the mountain with
three new commandments.

11-Don't take the kitchen utensils.
12-Respect the sacristy schedule.
13-Be kind.

If these are not obeyed you
will be smote by your children
getting inferior teachers
in middle school.

Dreams

I dream that I am at my Dad's house
as an adult
however
the house was like when I was a little
kid with no extension, garage and with
a small wisteria tree in the front yard.

His dreams are of the bakery where
he is working and his dad is there
standing silently.

Happy National Renewal and Reconciliation Day, 2009 !!!

Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death, The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies, We, the people, must redeem The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers. The mountains and the endless plain-- All, all the stretch of these great green states-- And make America again!

---Langston Hughes---

Office Stag Beetle

There is a few inches of snow
outside my window at work.
The surface is frozen,
and gently pocked
like the pores of my skin
viewed close up.
Grass and sticks
poking through like stray
hairs.

Ladies, hide your daughters !


Thanks Marcy!

Small, Mike says (2:29 PM):

Happy Leap Second !
spend it wisely.

I am living and working in Massachusuetts for a company based out of San Fransisco....if I get any bluer you will be able to make a pie out of me.

I have an icicle hanging off the
back of my apartment that is nearly 7 feet long.
I have named it Glamdring.

I overhead this on the
Interweb and just like
to repeat it over and over.

"Like a cotton candy Cadillac,
driven by Abe Lincoln,
who has a beard of diamonds."

Slight paraphrase of a Kurt Vonnegut book quote:

"Hello Elska. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, Elska, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, Elska—God damn it, you've got to be kind."

Hi, Apple Store?

Can I get an app to run
on my Iphone that will
prevent people warning
me about carbon monoxide?

I can!

Thank you Steve Jobs.

"One sec while I put on some pants."

"Good idea!"

small thrill -
using the micro soft outlook
out of office assistant
before going on
vacation.

Glory in my
fallibility!

Is the use of the term
whippersnapper
within my bailiwick now?

Like a spray of machine gun fire
a line of brown and granular
bird shit across my
lower left windshield.
A lone masticated berry
nut resting on the hood.
